February TTC Support Group

[Kateb149]

Hi all ☺️ I am now starting Cycle 6 TTC baby number one. I know some of us on January thread said it would be good to set up a Feb thread so thought i’d start it.

I should be ovulating around 17-18th so will be testing on 1st Feb!

Hi everyone. Joining from the January thread. Ttc baby #1 since our MMC in December '23. Not been feeling myself lately, off my food, feeling sick and can't even stomach my vape (bad habit I know)
Irregular periods, some cycles be 27 days, some be 35 and some 24.
Apparently not due on my AF until 3rd of feb. My cycle all over the place. However....
Positive at 10dpo
After 3 years of ttc and one loss, I'm over the moon to say my rainbow baby is here 💕

Welcome ☺️ everything crossed for you this month 🤞 I agree it is very hard to be patient sometimes, it seems like it is a lottery and it can be completely random when our lucky month will be. Hopefully Feb is a lucky one for us all

Huge congratulations ❤️ you’ve definitely given me motivation to not give up! It must feel hard to believe but those tests don’t lie 🥰

@Kateb149 Omg what an interesting article, it explains it perfectly! Thank you!!🥰

@ttcjourney20001 Omg massive congratulations!! 🥹🥹❤️❤️

You’re very welcome ☺️ just one of the many articles i’ve found after doing too much research for my own good 😂 i really want to track CM next month though and see if I can predict when i’ll ovulate without LH tests!

As someone who is 35 and TTC their first, comments like this don’t really help make you feel any better 😅

@Marvelftw
Don't worry, I went to a fertility specialist last weekend and when I said I was worried about age as i'm 37, she completely brushed it off and said don't worry that's fine.
In my group of friends 2 have just had a baby at 38 and one at 35.

@Kateb149 Me too! I took a purple ovulation test this morning which was negative. I had this type of "transition" CM all day and just had a feeling i wanted to try again now and I got a blinking smiley! How is the TWW for you?🥰

I got the flashing smiley today too, but not CM 😩

Thank you ♥️♥️

@carolinep3 Omg twins!!🥰 I don't have fully EWCM either, I'm sure it's on it's way!🤞🏼

I've been drinking so much water, literally feel like a fish to try and create some more!
Use the conceive plus lube too, don't know if this makes up for the lack 🤷🏻‍♀️

@carolinep3 Oh are you supposed to drink much water on your fertile days? 🫢 I'm drinking wine atm, me and my DH are having a little date night in the middle of the week 😂 Will have to sip on both then 😅

When I've researched how to create more fertile CM everywhere tells you to keep hydrated and drink more water . I'm trying for 2L a day, just carrying a bit bottle with me but it is tough. I've even been drinking grapefruit juice as apparently that helps too 🙈 I'm a sucker for trying everything!

Everyone is different. A friend who is 38 (almost 39) is currently pregnant, ready to pop with twins and never had any issues. Merely speaking from my own personal experience with secondary infertility struggles on top of the worry of age.
Hope you get you BFP soon

Ooh that’s great! At least you know your CM is tying up nicely with when you should be ovulating which is really positive ☺️

The TWW is absolutely dragging 😂 I can’t wait for this week to be over so it’s only a few days before I can test!

Please let us know if the grapefruit juice works! I’ve also seen this recommended for EWCM. The other suggestion i’ve found are evening primrose oil and cough medicine apparently… this stuff boggles my mind sometimes 😅 x

I had no idea drinking more water helps with EWCM! I barely had any last month and it worried me so this month will be like a fish too in that case!! 😄 We use conceive+ too not sure if that makes up for lack of EWCM but will do the hydration thing regardless!

That explains why I can't find them! Really surprises me, seems so wasteful!

Same 😂 If it dosen't work this cycle I will buy that too, plus the cup! This morning we had to squeeze in BD before work and it was the most hilarious thing haha, neither of us was in the mood and I couldnt stop laughing, but my DH really didn't want to miss a day 😂 TTC seggs really is something different

Looks like I also need more water 😅 anything to help. This TTC stuff creates havoc with my anxiety.

I've decided just to use the Clear blue this month. I'll try adding the BBT next month as it's getting a bit much 😩

Congratulations, this is so lovely 🥰🥰 xx

@ttcjourney20001 Congratualtions!! So pleased for you. Pease do stick around and keep us posted!

I had no idea about the water thing... Will try that too!!
My DP is on meds which is causing ED... BD yesterday but had to rely on artificial insemination again. Feel like its impossible atm. Did you use preseed and also a cervical cap after

Hi everyone! Just joined. Can't believe I'm here again but we decided to try for one last baby. Feel pretty nervous that it won't work after having losses in 2020. I'm 33. Nice to meet you all!
